Edit path to a macro in a workflow

Ashish

  1. I want to update the path to a macro to use the same macro from a shared location instead of my drive.
  2. I want to change the path of a macro in a workflow to a fully qualified path instead of mapped network path (to be able to share the workflow with a group)

it seems the only way I have is to delete the macro and then insert it again and reconfigure. Does anyone know how to change the path (location) of a macro without replacing it.

@Ashish,

 

You can set the workflow dependencies as pictured below:

This will allow you to set the path as:

UNC, Absolute, Relative.

 

UNC is great for shared locations with the potential for different logical drive/path names 

\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource 

instead of G:\Resource

 Cheers,

Mark

@MarqueeCrew Thanks a lot! It's very good. 

 

Also, I wanted to thank you for your macros! I find them very useful and use them a lot. I get ideas and inspiration from them to create my own macros that I need.

Thanks @Ashish,

 

my friend @AdamR_AYX is the mastermind behind the crew macros. I'm just a contributor to them.
